A brilliant, of-the-moment political satire like no other: here is Ian McEwan's Brexit-era take on Kafka's Metamorphosis, centered on a cockroach transformed into the prime minister of England. An Anchor Original.

That morning, Jim Sams, clever but by no means profound, woke from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a giant creature.

Jim Sams has undergone a metamorphosis. In his previous life he was ignored or loathed, but in his new incarnation he is the most powerful man in Britain--and it is his mission to carry out the will of the people. Nothing must get in his way; not the opposition, nor the dissenters within his own party. Not even the rules of parliamentary democracy.

In this bitingly funny Kafkaesque satire, Ian McEwan engages with scabrous humor a very recognizable political world and turns it on its head.

SIZE UP IF YOU ARE A HALF SIZE!
Size: 8, Color: Black
If you are a half size DEFINITELY size up! I am a 7-7.5, but in heels I’m usually a 7.5. I ordered an 8 and it fits perfectly!! They are super super cute but surprisingly not as comfortable as I thought considering it’s a pretty small heel. It’s not unbearable but I would keep that in mind if you’re planning to wear them standing for a long period of time. I didn’t see many reviews about people with half sizes except one and I listened to that one review and I’m very thankful I did. So PLEASE size up half a size.

If you are a 1/2 Size .... go up!
Size: 8, Color: Black, Size: 8, Color: Black
I love it! I wear heels everyday and these heels are great! Very comfortable since the heel is not to large also still sexy since it’s a stiletto! Only down is that they do not have 1/2 sizes and I am a 8.5. I got 8 based on the reviews but I knew better I should have went for the 9. Not their fault so I didn’t lower the rating. Aside from that they are awesome!
